Rajkot – Wockhardt Hospitals, Rajkot, is proud to announce a groundbreaking achievement in medical technology with the successful use of a state-of-the-art neuro navigation system. This innovative technology played a crucial role in a complex procedure involving an 8-year-old boy with multiple small, abnormal brain growths.
The patient, an 8-year-old boy, presented with several small abnormal growths located deep within the brainstem, a region difficult to access using traditional methods. Despite various treatments, the growths remained unreachable and indistinguishable from normal brain tissue.
To address this challenge, the medical team at Wockhardt Hospitals, led by Dr. Kant Jogani, Senior Consultant – Brain & Spine Surgeon, and Dr. Viral Vasani, Consultant – Brain & Spine Surgeon, utilized a cutting-edge neuro navigation system. This system, the first of its kind employed in the Saurashtra-Kutch region, allowed the team to precisely distinguish the tumor from surrounding tissue with an accuracy of within 1 mm.
The advanced navigation system enabled the surgeons to safely reach the tumor and perform a biopsy. The biopsy results provided the critical information needed for appropriate treatment, ultimately leading to a successful outcome for the young patient.
Dr. Kant Jogani commented, “The neuro navigation system was instrumental in this complex case. Its precision allowed us to accurately identify and access the abnormal growths without compromising surrounding healthy tissue. This achievement underscores our commitment to leveraging advanced technology for the best possible outcomes in patient care.”
Dr. Viral Vasani added, “The success of this procedure marks a significant milestone in our hospital’s journey. It highlights the potential of cutting-edge technology to improve precision in surgeries and ultimately enhance patient care.”
Wockhardt Hospitals remains dedicated to incorporating innovative solutions to provide the highest quality of care for its patients. The successful application of the neuro navigation system in this case is a testament to the hospital’s commitment to advancing medical technology and improving patient outcomes.
